my new ardu working in all modes nice.... now i will add a trigger function for the camera into the code.
i hope it´s possible ?!??
i am a newbie and code-noob :-) it´s possible for someone to post me the modified code per mail ?
what i want...:
the ardu must trigger the camera if reach a waypoint.
i have an ixus 80 with CHDK remote.i need 4-5 volt into usb-camera to trigger it.best way is to conect the usb-camera direct to the digital pin from the ardu ...
olli
PS:
i used completly ardu with xy, z and 2.6 code - shield V2

you'll have to set
pinMode(11,OUTPUT);
in the system tab.
void waypoint_event(byte event){
switch(event)
{
case EVENT_SET_NEW_WAYPOINT_INDEX:
// called just after wp_index is incemented
if (wp_index == 5){
Serial.println("Take Picture");
digitalWrite(11,HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(11,LOW);
}
break;
// snip
As far as code though, not sure what is out there. I'm not sure if there are enough timers in Ardupilot to support another servo. You may be better off by using a spare Digital output (the anolog ones work too) to send a signal to another board that handles your camera servo.
I'm using a KODAK HD Zx1 which has an optional IR remote. My plan is to record the IR signals then use another Arduino to send commands to my camera. It can do stills and 720p video.
Would be interested to hear about your progress.
